N <br /> Site Health and Safety Plan <br /> California Tank Lines Facility <br /> Sierra-Pacific Project No. 96-620.01 <br /> Contact with hydrocarbon-based fuels may result in dermal irritation due to desiccation. <br /> Respiration of or air laden with hydrocarbon vapor may result in oxygen deficiency, central <br /> nervous system (CNS) depression, or irritation of the mucous membranes. Mixtures of air and <br /> hydrocarbon fuels can present an explosion hazard. Waste oil may contain benzene, a suspected <br /> human carcinogen. Tetraethyl lead and ethylene dibromide (EDB) gasoline additives may be <br /> present in waste oils. Both are neurotoxic. Jj <br /> 6.2 Physical Hazards ' <br /> 6.2.1 Heat Stress <br /> Heat stress is associated with exposure to high temperatures, wearing protective clothing, and <br /> physical exertion. Temperatures at the site will probably be between 85° F and 90° F but may _ <br /> I <br /> be as high as 100° F during the month of September. Inclement weather is not expected at the _. <br /> facility during September. Drinking water will be available on site and numerous rest breaks <br /> will be taken to prevent heat stress. <br /> Personnel will inform the SSO of any signs or symptoms of heat stress, such as: <br /> 0 Heat rash, which can result from continuous exposure to heat or humid air. <br /> • Heat cramps, caused by heavy sweatingi with inadequate electrolyte replacement. L <br /> Symptoms include muscle spasms, pain in the hands, feet, and abdomen <br /> • Heat exhaustion, which occurs from increased stress on various body organs <br /> including inadequate blood circulation due to cardiovascular insufficiency or <br /> dehydration. Signs and symptoms include cool and moist skin, heavy sweating, <br /> dizziness, nausea, and fainting. <br /> 0 Heat stroke, the most serious form of heat stress, can develop when temperature <br /> regulation fails and the body temperature rises to critical levels. Immediate action <br /> must be taken to cool the body before serious injury and death occur. <br /> Competent medical help must be obtained. Signs and symptoms include red and <br /> usually dry skin, reduced perspiration, nausea, dizziness, confusion, strong and <br /> rapid pulse, or coma. <br /> Sierra-Pacific Groundwater Consultants, Inc. 12 <br />
